Darned huckaback-- Page 1 --
Darned huckaback is always in good taste for towels. The work is easy to do and inexpensive, and a very small expenditure of labour suffices to produce, from a piece of huckaback and a few skeins of thread, not only towels but many other articles that call for ornamentation that will stand hard wear. Huckaback can be had in various qualities; some of it is of 'old bleach' linen, and beautifully soft to work upon, creamy in tint and rather coarse in texture; that known as and which a mixture linen and cotton, is a purer white, a finer mesh, and for certain patterns sufficiently well. You will see here 4 different patterns for darning on huckaback, and when you realise that fig 2, is a detail of the towel design shown in fig 1, you will understand how the effect varies according to the texture of the background material.
